Family Sayings

[Electric_Andy]

If anyone ever said they were going out for the evening, my Gran used to say "you're never bleddy home". Ironically a night out would occur about once every three months.
On a nice sunny day my dad would always announce "nice day to change a £5 note"

Whenever I or one of my siblings complained that something wasn't fair, my Mother's response would always be "Then it's dark!"

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

my mum told me 'to keep me hand on me appenny;

Is that a euphemism?

 

[Sandra6]

If I ever said " I thought it did" I'd get " you know what thought did? Planted a feather in a midden, thought it'd grow into a hen" I still use that one.
Whenever we pass a border sign mr6 proclaims the name of the county I.e " cummmmbbbbria a a ah" eldest6 did it in his mate's car and got some strange looks :-)
If we're playing I spy the first guess is always " frogs in syke pond"
And if they ask what's for tea it's often " shoot with sugar on"

 

[Haitch]

Yes. It's from a music-hall song I think.
